Mourinho-Chelsea spending enough

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says his side's summer spending is complete following the signing of left-back Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid.
Luis is the Blues' fourth new player after midfielders Cesc Fabregasand Mario Pasalicand striker Diego Costa.
"We finished the market today," said Mourinho. "The transfer market closes 31 August and we close on July 19.
"My club did a fantastic job, not just because of what we bought, but because we did it in almost record time."
Chelsea have been linked with several other potentially expensive transfers this summer, including Real Madrid's German World Cup winning midfielder Sami Khedira and Monaco forward Radamel Falcao.
